StrategiQ are a proud activation partner for SXSW London, 2-7 June 2025.
“Partnering with SXSW London is a natural step for us. It’s about showing up where ideas are born and being part of the conversations that shape what’s next.
Innovation plays an integral part in our ‘70-20-10’ principle here at StrategiQ, so we’re really excited to play our part in bringing this iconic event to London.”
Andy Smith
CEO & Founder
SXSW is built around what’s next – and so are we. We’re here to connect, to contribute, and to back the people and ideas that will move things forward. That’s why we’re inviting UK entrepreneurs and businesses to pitch to join our InQubator program where we’ll help them launch or scale to the tune of £50,000 worth of marketing consultancy. And because our new offices are where early series of Dragon’s Den were filmed, it seems a full circle moment to be hosting a ‘pitch to win’ competition in our new space, but don’t worry, our panel aren’t Dragons, they’re a bunch of passionate marketers who want your business to succeed.
- To find out more and enter simply submit an application by 6pm Wednesday 4th June which we’ll review before notifying you if you’re being invited to pitch in person.
- Those invited to pitch their business will be given a time slot to present a 30 minute pitch with a 30 minute Q&A in front of one of our two panels between 9:30am and 3pm on Friday 6th June.
- Panels will then judge all pitches before contacting all participants with a decision and feedback on their pitch on the 13th June.
- Winners will then arrange to meet their InQubator team and start collaborating.
There’s never been a better time to work with StrategiQ!
